It is not being electrocuted like you may think. You will feel the current running through your body and your dental fillings will tingle kind of like when you touch your tongue on a 9v battery.

The most dangerous think to take into account is that you are working underwater and you have to know in a split second what to do in case you case you can not breathe.

Inga’s Answer

I know that it is one of the most dangerous jobs out there in the world today with a death rate of around 15%, it is a job choice where you are willing to accept the risk of all dangers. So being a master diver myself you can have issues like decompression sickness from pressure zones and inhaling hazardous gases. There are others that are more deadly however a lot of people fail to realize this can be deadly in various circumstances.
